The purpose of the course is to develop a thorough understanding, both from a theoretical and practical perspective, of a subject matter that is key to any person professionally engaged in a modern economy facing the challenges of globalization: the law and economics of international competition policy. The primary (but not exclusive) focus is on the main principles of the European Union's competition policy, not only given the size of the EU economy and its population but also since it increasingly serves as a model for the competition law of many countries outside the EU. Within the area of competition law, in particular restrictive practices, abuses of dominant position, mergers and public undertakings with special or exclusive rights are considered. For that purpose, reference is made to legislation and policy documents, important judgments of the European Court of Justice, decisions of the European Commission and doctrine. Both substantive and procedural questions are examined, as well as international aspects. Attention is also given to the political and economic rationale of competition rules, with a special emphasis on the role of economic analysis in the enforcement of competition law as well as the legality and acceptability of enforcement in light of the protection of fundamental rights and freedoms, in particular the right to a fair trial and the freedom of commerce
This course will be given in English.
Cases and materials are distributed in the beginning of the course.
